CD Review: Cabin in the Hills - Merle Haggard

Reviewed by Carrie Attebury

It's just something about being an Edgar...with the exception of two people in my family (who shall remain nameless) we are all BIG Merle Haggard fans.

You don't run across a new Merle release very often, so when I found "Cabin In The Woods" at my local Wal*Mart I was very excited. This album is not your typical Merle music. It's an album of gospel music.

"Life's Railway To Heaven" is a good old gospel tune that Merle really makes his own. I love the beautiful guitar intro.

"What Will It Be Like" paints a beautiful vision of what it will be like when we are all together in the next world, Heaven.

"Love Lifted Me" has always been one of my favorite gospel songs. I love Merle's version.

"This World Is Not My Home" features Albert Brumley Jr., one of Merle's friends. They sound really good together.

"Shores Of Jordan" is a medium tempo tune that brings to my mind people waiting to get into heaven, singing dancing and rejoicing while they are waiting for the angels to "carry them home"
